Oliveira revealed his situation via Twitter Thursday, announcing
that he will not compete Jan. 20 at the Bridgestone Arena in
Nashville, Tenn.

“Guys, unhappily I won't be able to fight [in] Nashville,” Oliveira
wrote. “My hand still hurts a lot. I was really looking forward to
[fighting in] my state.”

Headlined by a pivotal lightweight confrontation between Jim Miller
and Melvin
Guillard, UFC on FX 1 marks the first of six planned live
events to be broadcast on the Fox-owned cable station in 2012.

Though Oliveira originally hails from Brazil, “Tractor” now makes
his home in Tennessee. The 29-year-old jiu-jitsu ace has lost
back-to-back fights since returning to the UFC earlier this year,
falling by submission to Gleison
Tibau in May before being knocked out by Yves Edwards
at UFC Live 6. A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Oliveira holds
eight of his 14 career wins by either knockout or submission.
